BLT Direct offers advice for homeowners to reduce energy bills

With the festive season in full swing, BLT Direct, a leading stockist of high-quality lighting products and accessories, is offering savvy advice to homeowners on how to reduce their energy consumption this Christmas.

With a much higher demand than usual on the National Grid, homes across the UK are powering up their outdoor lights and decorating their trees and windows to help create that festive feel at home.

However, with an increase in energy usage during December and into January, many might be left with a post-Christmas money hangover once the electricity bill arrives if they fail to take advantage of the many energy-saving lighting products available on the market.

Studies have shown that should the entire UK population switch to decorative LED lighting during the two week Christmas period, then an estimated £13m in energy costs would be saved by homes across the country.

One of the most popular forms of festive lighting, many tree lights available from BLT Direct use innovative LED technology to keep power consumption low while still providing that winter wonderland feel. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and enough bulbs to comfortably decorate a 5ft tree, the LED multi-action lights from TREEbrights are ideal for creating ambience and emit a crisp, cool colour temperature.

Requiring little in the way of maintenance, this range of Christmas lighting is resilient to the winter elements and can last for years with proper care, making them an ideal choice for those looking to cut the cost of Christmas.

Another way of reducing the cost of an annual Christmas display is to use accent lighting outdoors to create a backdrop of colour to illuminate the home or garden. With a brand-new range of coloured LED floodlights, BLT Direct is offering homeowners the ability to bathe their home in colours such as frosty blue, warm red and festive green via the use of one pocket-friendly unit.

With a variety of colours to choose from, creating a stunning backdrop of colour has never been easier. Simple to install and robust enough to withstand the British weather, this particular range of LED floodlights from BLT Direct also allow homeowners to control the lights remotely, so no one has to brave the elements to switch the outdoor light display on as night falls.
